We did it boys 🤗 Huge thanks to @obsessworldwide , @okeydokebrand , and @riversidechattanooga for having me. Seeing tons of internet friends face to face for the first time and the Tennessee hospitality will be unforgettable. Car turned out insane. Bonus points if anyone knows the JTCC car this was inspired by and gets the Easter egg double entendre. So excited and glad to be back.
Drifting almost killed me, rebuilt me, and somehow brought me back to life.
Next stop: Ohio for something special from @obsessworldwide x @okeydokebrand 🔥
@riversidechattanooga after that.
A quick catch-up for those new here. ☺️
Didn’t expect to go from the 2nd gen to this, but here we are. Sobriety, staying in my lane, being at the service of others, and showing up every day really changed my story.
Endlessly thankful for this life even if it’s tough sometimes.
Only posting this so other 4th gen owners will start conversations with me in the DM’s, lol. I have genuinely loved being mostly off social media and don’t have any plans to return in any capacity like I used to.
Spencer you’d be proud of me, all my cars make turbo sounds 🥹
@drift_evolution found out i’m getting back into drifting with a new car and sent me an invite to shake it down at their cold winter nights event next weekend. i’m honestly so grateful and excited — it feels amazing to be heading back to such a familiar place after all this time. i haven’t been down since 2021, and it’s taken so much hard work and patience to get to this point. can’t wait to finally get some laps in again and feel that energy i’ve missed for so long. huge thank you to everyone who’s been part of the journey 🖤 thank you so much @007tactical 🥹
For the last 6 months, I have been building a 1JZGTE E36 in silence.
I bought a built second gen Dodge diesel, and a trailer to pull it around with - and after spending a solid 200 hours rebuilding this car alone in my driveway, I blew up its skirt leaving @theokayslider ’s memorial in front of about 20 people on its official first drive ever so I am just trying to stay ahead of the news cycle on this 😂
I knew there was no way I was getting out with both skirts on after being sandwiched in the driveway so I invited @_balalaclava outside to snag the skirt and throw it in his truck and a crowd followed to see the carnage 😆
Thank you all for coming out tonight, it was incredible to see you all, swap Spencer stories, and catch up. Spencer was one of the only people that knew I had this thing so it was only fitting to drive it to see him one more time.
Thank you @cloroxcocktail for putting such a cool car together years ago that I somehow got my hands on years later - despite it being on the brink of death by then 😆
Can’t wait to get fresh laps with old friends. Now that the damage bandaid is ripped off I should probably get this thing out to the track next month and really get my feet wet. I love drifting. It was only a matter of time. Can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

When we spoke last week and you sounded uncomfortable with where you were and what you were doing, I reminded you that you could always come home to Oregon and that we’d all be here with open arms. You didn’t sound ready to leave California yet - and I tried to support you from afar and lend any advice I could give to help. You didn’t let on that you were struggling as much as you must’ve been, and I get that.
You never wanted to bring anyone around you down. You only wanted to raise people up.
Every single person that has called or messaged me in the last few days has the same wonderful things to say - and there are a milion amazing things I could say too. Your legacy will forever live in my heart and not a day will go by for the rest of my life where I don’t think about you. I will continue to make you proud.
